Default I'm assuming that the "police siren" sound is not normal...

Because my '00 turbos have always been pretty loud, like a siren. Not varing pitch like a "police siren"!?!

Dealer claims it's normal, I disagree. My 2000 had the noise for 32k.

Default One clarification might help

I think a lot of cars - mine included - only make the police siren noise when cold. Perhaps the first question should reflect this with three possible responses: Never, cold only, & always.

Default And then what?

Turbos popped?
Sold car?
What makes you think it's not normal?
I noticed it on an '01 I drove?
Your starting to scare me!

Default Bought a 2002. (m)

I don't think it's normal because some cars are silent and others (like mine) are loud as hell. Why are they loud? What's different?
